Slovenia: New regulations on handling of loads

How can our forklifts help

The new Rules on ensuring safety and health in manual handling of loads, which will come into effect on August 1, 2024, introduces significant changes aimed at improving worker safety and reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. All industries that require manual load handling will need to comply with the new requirements.

How will the new regulation affect your business?

According to the new regulation, employers must assess the risks associated with manual load handling and take appropriate measures based on these assessments. The regulation clearly states that when the load level is high, manual handling of loads must be replaced with the use of work equipment such as lifts, cranes, platform trucks, forklifts, and other devices that reduce physical strain on workers.

With our forklifts, you can:

• Reduce physical strain on workers: Forklifts allow heavy loads to be moved with minimal effort and/or handled at an ergonomic height, reducing the risk of injuries and illnesses.
• Improve efficiency and productivity: Using forklifts, you can complete tasks faster and with less effort, increasing productivity.
• Comply with legal requirements: Using forklifts will make it easier for you to adhere to the new regulations and ensure a safer working environment.
